The Planned Development Project includes adequate provisions for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and that public service demands will not exceed the capacity of the existing and planned systems. The proposed project has been designed to generally meet emergency vehicle access requirements. The City and Alameda County Fire Department find the access to the site and internal circulation to be adequate for vehicular, pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. However, emergency vehicle access response time could be increased in the event the gates cause the queuing or back up of vehicles outside of them. A visitor mistakenly approaching the Bayfront Drive vehicle gate, for residents only, can cause a backup of vehicles until it completes a three point turn around or a U-turn and allows traffic to flow again. At the same, visitors in vehicles could be stacked at the Anchorage Drive gate, with the requirement to stop and use the telephone system. Tire spikes on the egress side of the street would restrict emergency vehicle access to the ingress side of the street. Delayed responses are possible even though the Knox Boxes are synchronized to open all three gates.
